W arm Springs C om m unity
Counseling will present Arwin
H e a d n e x t Friday, Sept. 26.
T his is a suicide p revention
education event.
A rw in H ead, aka A W O L
(A W arrior o n the Loose), is
a K la m a th M o d o c In d ia n .
“ M u s ic is m y ta le n t a n d
re a c h in g o u t to o u r trib a l
youth is my passion,” A rw in
says.
“Like m any N ative A m eri
can m en and w om en I have
faced all the social challenges
th at are com m on across I n
dian Country. I struggled to
find m y place on this earth.
F ro m th e inter-generational
traum a being passed down, to
c a r r y in g th e g e n e r a tio n a l
c u r s e s p la c e d o n m e , I
struggled as a child and teen
ager to find a connection.
“I floated through life in
m y ow n w o rld , th in k in g I
found solace in drugs and al
cohol. Little did I know the
m ore and m ore I w en t in to
addiction, the farther away I
grew from myself.
“ F o r 18 years I trie d to
drow n o u t m y sorrow and kill
the pain, searching every av
e n u e lo o k in g fo r p e ac e. I
th o u g h t death w ould be the
easy way out. In the wake o f
m y recklessness I found m y
self in jails, in stitutions and
near death m any times. T o
day I ’m sober, living life to
the fullest.”
A rw in is a single father,
and a light in his comm unity.
H e is gifted w ith a m usical
talent, and a pow erful story
o f turning hopelessness into
fulfillment. “I stand for C re

and tribes nationwide,” Arw in
says.
